has been in the South. 1t was about 8
o'clock on the evening of Jan. 10 friday,
1888, that the special Pullman palace car
bearing the royal pilgrims was hauled into
the Northeastern railroad depot. The
Princess and her party came from Rich
mond, Va, where they had tarried for a
day, and had been expected to reach Charles

was some delay, however, and the
royal train did not reach the city
uutil abont S p. m. 1t was, meteo-
rologically speaking, one of Charleston's
worst days-cold, rainy, drizzly, foggy,
frosty. Nevertheless the crowd that had
assembled at the depot and the crowd that
had assembled at the Charleston Hotel
waited for a glimpse of royalty. Her
British Maiesty's Consul, attired in silver
braideT dress coat and cooked hat, waited
patiently, and so did squad of Charleston's
Finest lall Irishmen, by the way, who
were detailed to keep the black rabble off
from royalty. Everybody, however, was
rewarded. The royal party arrived at
length, jumped into a train of carriages,
and were soon in their quarters at the
Charleston Hotel. The party was composed
of the following persons, who were registered
on the hotel books in the order named by
Mr.. eJoceline Bagot, member of the staff
of the Marquis of Lorne;
His Excellency the Marquis of Lorne.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise.
Miss Hervey.
Miss MCNEIL.

The Royal Pilgrims were on their way

During her stay the Princess received Mayor

place about p. m. A landing had been
built leading from South battery to the

thing was arranged by the municipal
authorities. The German Artillery was
drawn up at White Pond Garden and as the
royal party arrived fired a salute. The
boats of the Dido received the royal pilgrims
and conveyed them to the Dido, which was
anchored in the stream. The arrival of the
Princess on board the Dido was greeted with
